We really enjoyed the day trip to the three islands. To be honest, it would’ve been better to have a little more time out of the glass factory in Burano. The boat moored against the factory and we basically saw the demonstration put into the shop and then back on the boat, so I don’t really feel we got a chance to properly see any of Marano apart from the glass fact. I absolutely loved Burano… hi we had lunch there and had an hour and a half to wander about and see the island. It was really beautiful. Torcello was a surprise as I had forgotten we were going to a third island. We paid the extra money to go in and visit the monastery which was well worth it. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the day and would definitely recommend it to others. The one comment I would make is that living on an island in Scotland I travel by boat and ferry nearly weekly and there was no safety announcement or safety, broadcast at the start which I found was rather concerning. Our tour guide was excellent..

The day was nice and relaxed. No stressing about public taxis and timetables. Our tour guide was lovely. It was made very clear when we needed to be back to the boat and how long the trip was. In winter, I'd prefer they started at 10am, do you can get back before sunset.
